Abstract
IN a recent study of the specific heats of 6.6 and 6.10 nylons, Wilhoit and Dole1 obtained melting curves in which the peak for drawn filaments occurred at a lower temperature than for the corresponding undrawn filaments. They considered that the forms of these curves suggested that in 6.6 nylon drawn yarn, part of, if not all, the nylon melts and then perhaps recrystallizes and melts again. Alternatively, it was suggested that a considerable fraction melts at one temperature and a significant fraction at a higher temperature.
